Overheat and shut down a lot? I hope you plan on a laptop fan or something Also I hope you made sure you can even remove the old CPU

Can remove it no problem. This lappy was build with the 920xm in mind. it was meant to be able to push it at OC 3.2 (all four cores) Tons of forums out there about how people use the thermal paste and install the new chip and get ~2deg higher than with the stock cooling paste. Asus did a shit job with there paste. so no worries there at all.
